Madonna Has High Toilet Standards

'The Mirror' claims that it has the secret to Madonna's success. Well, not quite, but it does pretend to know the secret demand that the artist made for her 'Confessions' tour. The European leg is set to kick off on Sunday in Cardiff.

Apparently, the star is so obsessed about germs and personal hygiene that she asked (more like demanded) that all the toilets she is to use have brand new seats installed for each night of her tour.

Even more, they are not to be messed with by the less experienced and will be put only after a close inspection from Madonna's people.

A source told the newspaper that, quote, 'the seat has to be inspected by her people, then installed - with an unbroken seal - by plumbers before each gig'. Heaven forbid she should sit her royal butt on an old toilet or on one that entered into direct contact with the air!

But the diva didn't stop here. She also asked for three special Kabbalah candles: a 'DNA of the Soul' candle (to restore meaning to her life), a 'Power of Prosperity' one (to help her remain unaffected by fame) and an 'Evil Eye' candle (that functions on the same principle as her red string bracelet). She also made a special request, consisting of a foot spa and a new coat of white paint to be added to her dressing room.

Although Madonna's demands may seem a little off-handed, one can't blame her. At least the woman can perform a live concert, unlike so many self-entitled 'artists'.
